Speaking with
Bloomberg at GDC last week, Nintendo's Satoru Iwata seemed unfazed by Sony's recent announcement that
the PS3 will launch simultaneously worldwide. Iwata was clear about Nintendo's current stance, stating, "We don't
think it's necessary to do the simultaneous worldwide launch simply because others are doing this."Rather than play the tag-along, Nintendo continues to follow its own path into the next-generation. It's a good move, and further cements the concept that the Nintendo Revolution will launch in a unique gaming tier, diminishing direct competition with Sony and Microsoft's high-end platforms.
